Hi! In the mean time, I moved all of our servers to Proxmox, which has a filter built-in to avoid affecting veth interfaces. Also, I fixed it by adding this to my bridge's config: bridge-ports-condone-regex ^(tap|veth|fwpr)
Personally, I think that ifupdown2 should just have this condone by default, but that's me.
